This specimen was lot 22286 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Anaheim, CA, August 2016), where it sold for $376. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "FRANCE. 1/4 Ecu, 1607-C. Saint Lo Mint. Henry IV (1589-1610). NGC MS-63. Finest graded at NGC by an incredible 8 point margin. Boldly struck with terrific luster and very minimal doubling." This specimen was struck by the hammer at St.-Lô in Normandy during the reign of Henry IV, founder of the Bourbon dynasty (1589-1793). This was the largest silver coin regularly struck in [[France]] prior to the introduction of milled coinage in the 1640's. Duplessy notes this type for the St.-Lô and Rennes mints. It varies from the design used at other mints by having crowns at the ends of the cross rather than fleurs-de-lys. | This specimen was lot 22286 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Anaheim, CA, August 2016), where it sold for $376.

This specimen was lot 22286 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Anaheim, CA, August 2016), where it sold for $376. The catalog description[1] noted, "FRANCE. 1/4 Ecu, 1607-C. Saint Lo Mint.

This specimen was struck by the hammer at St.-Lô in Normandy during the reign of Henry IV, founder of the Bourbon dynasty (1589-1793). This was the largest silver coin regularly struck in France prior to the introduction of milled coinage in the 1640's. Duplessy notes this type for the St.-Lô and Rennes mints.
